Toyota RAV4 Ground Clearance (All Years & Trims)

Knowing your vehicle’s ground clearance is important. It definitely helps to know if your SUV runs the risk of hitting its underside constantly on things like speed bumps and potholes. 

It’s especially great to know if you regularly go off-roading or drive in rough terrain.

In this guide, I provide all ground clearance measurements for model years 1999-2023.  As you will see, ground clearance varies by model year, trim level, and whether your vehicle is a hybrid. 

Use the charts below organized by model year to determine what the ground clearance is for your RAV4.
